The successful running of any educational system depends mainly upon the teacher, the pupil, the curriculum, and the available facilities. Out of these, the teacher is the most important one and is the pivot on whom the entire educational structure rests. Teachers, who are happy with their job, find satisfaction in their lives and hence play a vital role in the process of strengthening the society they belong (Lavingia, 1974). Hence, job satisfaction of teachers is not only important for themselves, but also for the students and as well as the institution and the society they belong.
